Flying non-stop from Myrtle Beach to Florence (South Carolina)>

Now let's assume you have a private jet and you can fly in the
fastest possible straight line between Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and
Florence, South Carolina. Because of the curvature of the Earth, the
shortest distance is actually the "great circle" distance, or
"as the crow flies" which is calculated using an iterative
Vincenty formula.

Flight distance: 61 miles or 99 km

Flight time: 37 minutes

The straight line flight distance is 7 miles less than driving on roads, which means the driving distance is roughly 1.1x of the flight distance.

Your plane flies much faster than a car, so the flight time is about 1/2th of the time it would take to drive.

This is a relatively short flight in a private plane, but you might be planning to book a commercial flight. In that case, your travel time would really need to
include how many minutes to get to your local airport, wait
for security, board and taxi on the runway, land at the other
airport, and get to your destination. Scroll down to see a more realistic calculation that takes
into account all these factors to get a more accurate estimate
of your actual flight time.

In the quick calculation above, we assumed you had a private
plane and just wanted to know the time in the air from city to city.
But for most of us, we're going to be flying on a commercial airline
(whether it's first class or coach). So that means we really need
to account for all the extra travel time getting to the airport,
waiting for our flight, and making it to the destination.

To give you a better estimate of real-life travel, we've
put together a flight itinerary with actual airports. Eventually
you'll be able to customize this plan, choosing your own airports
and flights. But for now, here's an example we've selected to
give you an idea of how traveling might work between airports.

Departure airport: Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR)

Arrival airport: Florence Regional Airport (FLO)

With the airports selected, we can estimate the travel time to and
from the airport, based on how far the airport is from downtown.

Getting to the airport: 7 minutes

Getting to your destination: 7 minutes

Now finally, let's look at an actual flight from MYR connecting through CLT and arriving at FLO flying on American Airlines. We can figure
out how long it would take to fly including take-off and landing, time to
taxi on the runways, and an average layover time of about 2 hours.

Initial flight time: 59 minutes

Connecting airport: Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT)

Connection flight time: 42 minutes

So now we can finally get an idea of the total travel time from
Myrtle Beach to Florence (South Carolina) including time spent getting to and from the
airports, roughly 2 hours at the departure airport for TSA security lines
and waiting at the gate, plus the connecting flight with a 2-hour layover.

Total travel time: 6 hours
